CHAPTER 1 | True and False
Jiyong decided to grab some early lunch near the police station after dealing with different people. He was actually not supposed to, for there's a lot of them that was really hard to handle, especially that businessman named Lee Seungri. However, he was not in the mood and he might get them all in jail if he stayed there, reason why he's currently inside the fast food chain, silently eating.
"Excuse me.." a woman interrupted him. "Can I share a table with you?"
Jiyong lifted up his head and saw a long black haired woman with catty eyes. He then looked sideways and saw that the place was full packed, meaning, he has no choice but to nod.
